Thank you - all four of you were on the money. Taking your advice this
is what I did to fix it ...
C:\users\miked\py\ssds <-- root
C:\users\miked\py\ssds\Lib <-- virtualenv python installation
C:\users\miked\py\ssds\Scripts <-- virtualenv python scripts
C:\users\miked\py\ssds\src <-- project source root - contains settings.py
Created a shortcut called runserver with the following command line ...
C:\users\miked\py\ssds\Scripts\python.exe
C:\users\miked\py\src\manage.py runserver --settings=.src.settings
... and Start in = C:\users\miked\py\ssds\src
Without needing to activate, this loads the correct python and the
correct django. I haven't actually written any code or organised
directories yet so it errors and exits but I can see which django is
barfing and I'm happy.
Thanks again
Mike
